What is Keeper-induced Registration?

Keeper-induced registration (KIR) is a power introduced by the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 2012 which allows the Keeper to move property titles from the General Register of Sasines onto the Land Register of Scotland without an application for registration from the owner of the property.

There are two categories of KIR applications - KIR (Private) and KIR (Public):

  • KIR (Private) is the registration of property titles held by individuals.
  • KIR (Public) is the registration of property titles held by local authorities or other public bodies such as housing associations, hereinafter referred to as "the council" in these pages.

KIR (Public)

KIR (Public) has been established to enable registration of the remainder of research area extents, in so far as they remain in the council's ownership and where no information has been provided by them. The starting point for each title will be an individual research area.
